The Facts: Carter, acquired from the Giants in the deal sending Reuben Droughns to New York, was addressed by GM Phil Savage this afternoon. "(Carter) brings five years of NFL experience and legitimate speed to our receiving corps," Browns general manager Phil Savage said. "We almost signed him last year as an unrestricted free agent, so he will be familiar with the Browns."

Diehards Line:Fast but fragile, the 27-year old Carter served as the Giants' third receiver for most of last season before being elevated to the No. 2 spot when Amani Toomer went down with a knee injury. He had 22 catches for 253 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games. ... A 2002 second-round pick, Carter has 72 receptions for 967 yards and three touchdowns in 53 career games.
